DYNAMIC DESIGN ANALYSIS AND NUMERICAL MODELLING SIMULATION OF AFAM VI POWER GAS PLANT

Petroleum and Gas Engineering

An investigation into the modeling and simulation of the Afam VI Gas Power Plant is included in this article. Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in the demand for energy in the developing world. Thus, it is vital to employ power generators that have high efficiency and specific power production, low discharges of contaminants, and relatively low operating cost for a potential use of accessible fuels. The use of industrial gas turbines is a tried and true method of producing electrical power. As a result, it is now guaranteed that the gas turbine power plant will hold a major role within the world's electricity systems. Studies on system reliability demand accurate representations of the components of power systems. The gas turbine, speed regulator, and exciter are crucial components of the generators. A thorough block model is created after first determining the transfer functions of the various turbine components. In addition to the turbine, the excitation system, which comprises of a synchronous generator, a transformer, and an IEEE AC7B type power system stabilizer, is modeled. This model is then modified for usage with the brand-new Afam vi Gas Power Plant (AGPP) in the Niger Delta Area using data directly derived from the specifications of BGPP makers. Nigerian For the simulation, the station has a load assigned to it. Simulation is used to study both major signal disturbance events, such as line-to-ground and three-phase faults, and minor signal disturbance scenarios, such as a step shift in governor input. Only a few of the system variables that are gathered and graphed at each stage include rotor angle, accelerating power, terminal voltage, and rotor speed. Relevant advice is given in light of the findings.
